#1.5.2

[jelepermets]

I have a lot of conflicting thoughts on how Valjean’s policy of the women of his factory having good morals is supposed to be taken. Since I choose to believe Hugo is critiquing it I will say I love how Valjean’s character arc at this point in time parallels M Myriel’s.

Similar idea of individual goodness and how that doesn’t hold up against systematic issues. And how something that seems good and ought to be good can end up doing harm anyways. And how punishment/deprivation for some perceived fault can truly hurt people. Valjean assumes only women with bad morals end up like Fantine, and that assumption proves literally fatal later on.

A man of about fifty, he was good-natured but always seemed preoccupied; this was all that could be said about him.

Madeleine

“Before Father Madeleine’s arrival, everything had languished in the country; now everything lived with a healthy life of toil. A strong circulation warmed everything and penetrated everywhere. Slack seasons and wretchedness were unknown. There was no pocket so obscure that it had not a little money in it; no dwelling so lowly that there was not some little joy within it.”

Madeleine raises enough money through his invention to build a factory and offer a job to any honest man or woman who wants one.

People mistake Madeleine’s generosity for ambition, which resulted in the deputy trying to outdo him.

A rumor starts to circulate that Madeleine is going to be named mayor. Madeleine refuses. He is offered a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and he refuses that, too.

“When they saw him making money, they said, “He is a man of business.” When they saw him scattering his money about, they said, “He is an ambitious man.” When he was seen to decline honors, they said, “He is an adventurer.” When they saw him repulse society, they said, “He is a brute.””

He is again appointed mayor, and he tries to refuse again, but the people insist that he would be able to do more good a mayor, so he accepts.

"[Jean Valjean] went regularly to hear mass every Sunday. The local deputy, who scented rivalry everywhere, was not slow to worry about Madeleine's religion. [...] In private [the deputy] jested a little about God. But when he saw the rich manufacturer Madeleine go to low mass at seven o'clock, he foresaw a possible rival candidate, and he resolved to outdo him. He took a Jesuit confessor and went to both high mass and vespers. At that time ambition was in a real sense a steeplechase. The poor, as well as God, gained by the terror of the honorable deputy."

I'm sorry this is so so funny. Girl's one upping this deputy completely on accident.

I'm collecting villagers to trade by curing zombie villagers but their ai is so dumb they keep jumping off the roof or running into a mob and die

Why do you think I've gone through the whole process of going to Nether for making potions and force fed you a golden apple and kept you in a cage from sunlight for days so you won't burn to death!!! U suicidal maniac
